"XHTML" also works fine with the text/html MIME type (.htm extension), but then it won't be parsed as XML by your typical web browser. This shouldn't be new information though... If you're after the fact that browsers don't sniff for XML in text/html that's because the old HTML WG said so (there's a pointer somewhere out there) and changing that now is impossible given how many authors got XML as text/html "completely wrong". -- Anne van Kesteren <http://annevankesteren.nl/> <http://www.opera.com/>
